Tasty Front Yard...

I've read that there is a new trend in landscaping, turning your front yard into a garden.  This makes sense to me as grass takes so much effort and resources to maintain...whereas with a garden you get a bigger return.

 For me it was like a ray of light coming from above when I read this...my front yard is the size of a postage stamp, I don't have a mower and it's like pulling teeth to get the property caretaker to come mow it. 

 There is a chain link fence all the way around it to grow climbers on...it will be beautiful too having scarlet runner beans with their red flowers on the fence.

 The soil is great, rich and easy to work...and my Mother has a little bitty tiller, just right for my little bitty yard!  I'll have to bring it over from the valley, but with the tiller size transporting it will be a snap.

 I spend a lot of time out front in summer, with the creek flowing all the way around the yard it's quite pleasant...and watching my garden grow will certainly add to the experience.

 I can see it now in my mind's eye...full of herbs, with a lettuce patch and beans hanging on the fence. 

Yep, I think I'm gonna eat my front yard!
